Aiming to record three straight wins following the international break, Chelsea will welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge for a Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues maintained their 100% record in the Conference League on Thursday night, posting a 2-0 success over Heidenheim of the Bundesliga.

Seven games without a win in all competitions, Villa were held to a goalless draw by Juventus in the Champions League at Villa Park on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Chelsea and Aston Villa ahead of Sunday's Premier League battle.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 166

Chelsea wins: 69

Draws: 37

Aston Villa wins: 60

Rather unsurprisingly, Premier League giants Chelsea have the better of the past meetings with Aston Villa, winning 69 of the 166 matches between the two sides.

The Villans are no whipping boys in this fixture, though, winning on 60 occasions over the years, whilst the spoils have been shared 37 times.

In front of 30,000 supporters in the Second City, Villa and Chelsea played out an uninspiring goalless draw during their first-ever meeting in December 1907, when both sides were fighting for the top-tier title.

The Birmingham-based club enjoyed an eight-game unbeaten run against the Blues between 1907 and October 1913, when goals from Harold Halse and Henry Ford secured the West Londoners' maiden victory in this fixture.

Chelsea are able to boast the largest margin of victory in matches between the two sides, with the Blues' 2012-23 crop smashing Villa 8-0 at Stamford Bridge two days before Christmas in 2012.

That battering in the capital equalled Chelsea's biggest-ever league win, with the Blues also beating Wigan Athletic by the same scoreline in May 2010.

After securing back-to-back successes over the Blues in 2023, Villa are winless across their last three competitive meetings with Chelsea, leading to disappointments in both the Premier League and FA Cup.

The most recent battle between the two sides resulted in a share of the spoils following a four-goal thriller in April 2024, when a late Conor Gallagher goal for Chelsea forced a draw at Villa Park.
